Prairie Gold

A spirited gathering of poems, short stories and reflections, this volume captures the heart of the Midwest at a pivotal moment in history. Written by a diverse group of Iowa writers, each piece celebrates the state’s rolling prairies, abundant harvests and the steadfast character of its people, while also reaching out to the broader cause of wartime relief. The opening notes commend the American Red Cross, framing the anthology as a heartfelt contribution to those on the front lines and the families they left behind.

Readers will wander through lyrical odes to cornfields, tender sketches of small‑town life, and poignant snapshots of everyday heroism. The collection balances gentle humor with sincere gratitude, offering both a snapshot of early‑twentieth‑century Iowa culture and a timeless reminder of community solidarity. It’s an inviting listening experience for anyone who loves regional storytelling and the quiet strength of shared compassion.
